The Fusion replaces my Tabou 3S classic 106 which was sailed to pieces and a great board.Wanted something more turny and was close to buying the 3S+ 106 but opted or the Fusion.The main reason was to get a much stronger construction than a factory board, who ding to easily.
Was prepared to offer some performance from the 3S but was happily surprised. The Fusion gets going a little bit slower than the 3S classic but its so much better in all other areas. Out in rough conditions with 40knots onshore in the gusts and was on a 5.8 sail. Chose a big sail to really try the board when heavy overpowered as this is a common state in our sailing areas. Not much stable thermic winds.
What impressed me most? Definetly its stability sideways both when blasting and turning. Never tried a board that turns so smooth and at the same time feels so stable during the turn. Full planning gybes just materialized by them selfes in choppy conditions.
I could go downwind heavily overpowered with all the speed I could pick up in choppy conditions without getting the spin outs I was expecting. A chop lover..
The board turns much better than me and I did pull off all of my tacks which definetly is a sign of a well balanced board. Goes upwind good enough and is more than fast enough.
Very stable when entering in/out of straps and nice to surf on the wave with. Lots of sideways stability at all speeds.Did two days in same conditions.
All summed up its a great board and a very nice experience. THere will be more custom boards coming...

Thanks for the possitive reveiw and so glad you like the design.
Just to clarify Mr Broken Fin who is in Europe approached me regarding getting an Atomicsurf Fusion 64 from me but when I looked at what it would cost to have OES build it and thenship to Europe it got a bit out of control. Shipping cost are one of the big reasons why we are paying so much for everything!!!!...Broken Fin knew of a custom builder so I suplied the CAD file and his builder did the rest, looks like he did a great job.
For anybody in OZ iwho may be nterested just give me a yell...I am sure Pete Ross would love to build some.
